There's a lot of hypocrisy in audiences. I'd never dream of telling even on a nightclub stage, let alone my show, some of the jokes that are told in a lot of the living rooms from which we get those letters!

Never marry a girl named 'Marie' who used to be known as 'Murray'.

It's the lack of this kind of open and honest education about sex that causes so many kids to grow up with sexual hang-ups.
